How is a satellite built? How do they fly? How do they communicate and how does the network operate? You will get all the answers in this course from teachers and researchers from three schools associated with Institut Mines-Télécom.
The course is made of : teaching videos, equipment demonstrations and simulation programs. They will guide you through the discovery of satellite communications. Professionals in the space field will share there vocation for this scientific and technical sector.
Have you ever wanted to know more about transponders, the geostationary orbit, QPSK modulation, channel coding, link budget, TCP over large bandwdith x delay product links ?
This course is for you! This course is available in English: French-speaking lecturers with English subtitles and fully translated contents (slides, practices).
This MOOC is supported by the Patrick and Lina Drahi Foundation.

Transcripción

-We have just presented different types of terminals. We saw the relationship between the form factor and the communication capacity. The smaller the terminal is, the lower the throughput offered to the user will be. We also saw that there were two approaches to a terminal's service. We can either have a wired Internet type service or have access to the satellite's communication capacity. In this case, the approach is more flexible but also a little more complex. This concludes our sequence about terminals. Remember our "Going Further" episode which will talk about auto-pointing antennas. In our next sequence, we will talk about gateways and move on to the other side of the service. We were on the side of the user, and now we will have a look at the operator's side.
